Nesting & Build Plate
Pack parts onto the build plate of a 3D printer. Describe the printer once, let Auto Nest place the parts or move them by hand, export one merged mesh or a 3MF slice stack and check its slices before printing.

Build PlateDescribe a 3D printer in MeshInspector once — build volume, margins, gap between parts, shrinkage compensation, layer height and stacking — and reuse it for nesting.
NestingPack parts onto the build plate of a 3D printer with Auto Nest in MeshInspector, adjust them by hand, fix mesh issues and export an STL or a 3MF slice stack.Video
Slicestack DiagnosticsCheck every slice of a 3MF slice stack in MeshInspector for crossing, reversed and overlapping contours, and look at each slice with issues in the viewport.
